Quotes from John Adams
I loved how we came out and competed in that first quarter. Unfortunately, right now when things get hard for us, we tend to back down, and Sibley-Ocheyedan did a very good job of making things hard on us in the second and fourth quarter. We’ve got to figure some things out on offense, you just can’t have a seven and two point quarter and have success in this conference.”
